May I suggest using one of the DBM formats supported natively (no CPAN
downloads required) by Perl ? This makes for a *really* easy scripting
interface and if possible piping script outputs into the simulator
'live', so one can generate data on-the-fly and must not store it. Perl
DBM is one of the fastest ways to store and retrieve large amounts of
data with minimum programming effort. The data need not be binary.
